This is the second blog post describing enhancements for visual shaders and shader scripts landed in Godot 3.2. Since the previous update, I've (Chaosus) spent much time and effort adding a lot of new things to enhance the overall experience developing shaders. Shader changes. Visual Shader changes.

Rework EditorPlugin editing logic, allowing multiple plugins to be active at the same time ( GH-71770 ). Editor: Support script global resource name in EditorFileSystem ( GH-71683 , GH-71687 ).

Visual scripting. While Godot had visual scripting in the past, we found that the form we had implemented didn’t really prove adequate for the needs of the community, so it was discontinued. What we realized is that visual scripting really shines when combined together with the premade behaviors mentioned in the previous section.

Largely rewritten 2D engine, with support for: Shaders (Visual and Code). 2D Materials. 2D Independent Z ordering per-node. 2D Materials.

Most of my time working in cocos has been devoted to shader work. Edit: In case it is misleading… I know how to make the card physically look like it is flipping over. I have intermediate knowledge with C# and have worked in “another popular engine” for years but Cocos is brand new to me. So, I am trying to create a card flip effect.

For sub-resources, editing would also go into a separate view. All editing is done via controls instead of tree cells. It also allows writing custom plugins to customize the looks, like in the image below: New Spin-Slider for numerical editing. It alows: Editing values in absolute range (via slider). the NEW inspector!

Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. Project: Allow undocking the Script editor and the Shader editor. In this project, I'll focus to make the Script editor and the Shader editor undockable, and keep the undocked windows after editor restarts.

The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture. (In backend is supposed to run on old hardware, there are some problems with hardware support for that: not all GPUs allow textures to be used in vertex shaders. added TIME uniform to all "scriptable" shaders.

From there I used Sphere, an open source 2d Engine that scripted in javascript. We’re not really doing anything with shaders or post processing in the tutorial, so depending on where you want to take the tutorial later, its really up to you which you choose. A couple quick notes. We’ll start with the Dirt texture.
